#1 goalie for Horvat... Ah..

 

[Velociraptor]

Very happy with this pick, but just absolutely shocked.

 

[Canucks5551]

Not a fan. I had some guys I figured would be available at 24th higher on my list...

 

[MS]

Will be a good player here. Doesn't mean this isn't an awful trade and situation.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Shoulda picked Nichushkin. Wow.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

Called it in the other thread. I like Horvat over Domi or the D.

Not sure on the trade.

 

[Jack Tripper]

so hes jonathan quick / tuukka rask value, got it

kid is going to be unfairly dogged by this debacle

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

Gillis should have gotten more for Schneider - but as a pick, Horvat is a good one. I've seen a lot of him b/c i'm a Knights fan and the guy is the real deal. You'll love him.

 

[OttawaRoughRiderFan*]

That trade is crazy. Sorry for Canuck fans. Hope Bo turns out to be great.

 

[BK201]

Ryan O'Reilly with a scoring touch.

 

[ARSix]

FML! I can't believe that just happened. Ugh. I see it to pick Nichuskin but Horvat for Schneider... I just don't know, man. I don't know.

 

[Nathan MacKinnon]

This is me at this moment

 

[Outside99*]

Love the pick, clutch competitor.

 

[DennisReynolds]

Did Eriksson signing make Gillis change his mind about Schneider?

 

[ihaveyuidonttouchme]

please only talk about this player not the trade...i need some hype for this kid

 

[luongo321]

Does anyone have any youtub evids of this guy? What type of player is he?

 

[Nuckles]

Ugh, I really would have preferred us taking the chance on Nichushkin.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Horvat seems good, but considering it cost us Schneider...just in disbelief at the moment.

 

[earl grey]

Good young kid. This pick can't miss. He's gonna be a beauty!

 

[biturbo19]

Will be a good player here. Doesn't mean this isn't an awful trade and situation.

Pretty much.

Happy to add a player like Horvat...but adding him at #9? And as the only return for Schneider?

 

[King of the ES*]

I really know very little about Horvat. Would've much preferred Domi.

Pretty shocked.

He's a great player - you'll be happy with him. Don't worry about the trade - that has nothing to do with Horvat.

You'll be able to see a lot of him next year, b/c I'm pretty sure he'll make WJC and the Knights are hosting the mem cup, so he'll play in that.

Horvat seems good, but considering it cost us Schneider...just in disbelief at the moment.

Edit: I'll take it to the other thread.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Ugh, I really would have preferred us taking the chance on Nichushkin.

I don't mind going out on a limb and say that is going to bite us in the future.
